After Pitcairn: At Sea

Arriving in Mangareva

The Claymore arrived in Mangareva around 5 PM. We stepped off the ship and walked around town. Several of us stopped at Cafe JoJo. I don't drink alcohol, but everybody else ordered a beer. It felt weird to be back in society.

Our flight back to Tahiti wasn't till tomorrow, so we spent the night on the Claymore. The ship was anchored in a lagoon protected by a barrier reef, so it did not sway. It felt unnatural to sleep on the Claymore without getting tossed around.
